How do campus novels subvert traditional power structures?  Why do so many writers keep writing campus novels anyway?  And is it problematic that so few writers of colors are represented in this subgenre?  This week, these questions and more as we discuss our experience reading The Secret History, Stoner and The Human Stain. 

This is the conclusion of our series on Campus Novels where we read Donna Tartt, John Williams and Philip Roth.  Look for our previous episodes to hear our discussion about these books.  Next week we will start our series on Postmodern Novels of the South with John Kennedy Toole's A Confederacy of Dunces.
